You will want to spend as much time as possible visiting the inmate, so do not wear clothing that will keep you tied up going through security checks.
You are expected to dress appropriately. Each facility has a dress code that does not permit visitors to wear a bathing suit, an extremely short skirt/dress, shorts, halter-tops, or clothing made of see-through materials. Visitors are required to wear shoes. There are often limits on clothing that makes reference to obscene language, drugs, sex or violence. Failure to comply with the facility’s dress code will result in your not being permitted to visit.
